Website Content

The Websites present information and content including, but not limited to, articles, opinions, text, data, software applications, commentary, advertisements, graphics, illustrations, calendars, designs, games, reviews, video and audio files, programs, code, and photos, in addition to User Generated Content (as defined herein) (collectively, "Content"), that is owned or licensed by the Company. The Sites may also include materials owned by third parties and posted on the Sites by virtue of a license, grant or some other form of agreement between the third party and BSS. When used in this Agreement, "we", “us” and "our" mean BSS.

The Content contained on the Websites is for general information use only and has not been verified by BSS. BSS does not make any representations as to the accuracy or completeness of Content or assume any liability for any loss that may result from the reliance by any person upon any Content we provide. Any statements non-factual in nature constitute only current opinions, which are subject to change without notice.

Services

Through the Websites, you may be able to review Content (as defined herein), upload and download files, register for membership, purchase products, make donations, sign up for events, pay for goods and services, communicate and establish relationships with other users, and post information, opinions and comments (collectively, the “Services”). BSS reserves the right to change, suspend and discontinue any aspect of the Services at any time including, but not limited to, the nature of the Services offered, databases, hours of availability, and software needed for access or use. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, BSS reserves the right to permit or restrict access to Services and Websites to any user in its sole and absolute discretion.

Profiles, Blogs and Boards

BSS offers original and third party information on the Websites. You may be invited to provide custom screen names, icons and other profile information (collectively, “Profile Information”), and you may be permitted to comment on, post, transmit or submit messages, ideas, concepts, techniques, know-how and other information and materials, which may include uploading files, inputting data, providing personal information, submitting opinions or engaging in any form of communication that you submit, post and display on the Websites or through the Services (collectively, and together with Profile Information, "User Generated Content") to other Website users, blogs, bulletin boards and public areas (collectively "Forums") within or in connection with the Sites or in connection with the Services. In submitting User Generated Content to Forums, you agree to strictly limit yourself to discussions about the subject matter for which the Forums are intended.

User Generated Content

BSS does not endorse or have any control over User Generated Content submitted by you or others and accepts no responsibility whatsoever in connection with or arising therefrom. User Generated Content submitted through the Sites is not necessarily reviewed by the Company prior to posting and does not necessarily reflect the opinions or policies of the Company. If at any time the Company chooses, in its sole discretion, to monitor the Forums, the Company nonetheless assumes no responsibility for User Generated Content, no obligation to modify or remove any inappropriate or inaccurate User Generated Content, and no responsibility for the conduct of the user submitting any User Generated Content.

The Company makes no warranties, express or implied, as to the suitability, accuracy or reliability of any files, data, ideas, information, opinions, designs, communications, messages, posts, transmissions or other content and materials, including User Generated Content, accessible on or through the Websites or the Services (collectively, “Content”). Nonetheless, the Company reserves the right to prevent you from submitting User Generated Content and to edit, restrict or remove any User Generated Content for any reason at any time. You agree that BSS shall accept no liability if we prevent, in our sole discretion, your User Generated Content from being submitted, or we edit, restrict or remove it. You also agree to permit any other user of the Sites and any third-party website on which your User Generated Content may be included, to access, view, store and reproduce the material for such user's personal use.

Certain portions of the Websites may offer you the ability to send (by e-mail or otherwise) messages directly to the Company or another user. The Company shall have no liability for any delay, loss or damage that may result from your use of e-mail tools or from interception or unauthorized use by third parties of any information you send through our systems. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users on and through the Websites. BSS reserves the right, but has no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other users.

In the event a dispute arises between you and BSS or any third party, please e-mail the Company at info@bigspaceship.com and we will work quickly towards a resolution. We encourage you to report all user-to-user disputes to your local law enforcement, postmaster general, or a certified mediation or arbitration entity.

You acknowledge that the Company has detrimentally relied upon this representation. Accordingly, you further agree to defend, hold harmless and indemnify the Company from and against any and all claims of alleged or actual infringements of any intellectual property rights, proprietary rights, rights of privacy and publicity, moral rights, and rights of attribution raised by third parties against the Company in connection with such Content.

You agree to release Company, its parents, partners, contractors and affiliates together with their respective employees, agents, officers, directors and shareholders, from any and all liability and obligations whatsoever in connection with, or arising from, your use of the Forums or the Services. If at any time you are not happy with the Websites or the Services or object to any Content, your sole remedy is to cease using them.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”)

The DMCA provides recourse to those who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by us infringe your copyright, you may send us a notice requesting that we remove the material or block access to it. The notice must include the following information:

(a) Physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;

(b) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Sites are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works);

(d) The name, address, telephone number, and email address of the complaining party;

(e) A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner or the law; and

(f) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and is given under penalty of perjury, and that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.copyright.gov/ for details. Notices and counter-notices under the DMCA, as well as all other communications addressed to us relating to this Agreement, should be sent to:

Fridman Law Group, PLLC, 287 Spring Street, New York, NY 10013

We strongly suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, please be aware that penalties may apply for false claims under the DMCA.
